bo burnham, i yearn for you- i crave your touch. I wish for your sweet sweet soft kiss on my supple lips. my sweet little femboy, i desire you so. My darling dear, i will never let you go. i will cook for you, i will clean for you, i will make you anything you desire. i will be your malewife. i am yours and only yours. zoo wee mama hubba hubba awooga what a dame! i will dedicate my lifespan for you. i cry in my shower at 3am over you, desperately screaming at the top of my lungs for an answer from you, only to be lost by the void. i can't drown my demons, they know how to swim. bo burnham, my long lost lover. we will reconnect one day, i just know it. so wait for me, my sugar pumpkin. my flatty patty. my english breakfast. i will meet you along the horizon, and then, we shall share a tender kiss underneath the sunset as the waves lap along our feet. we stare at each other longingly, desperately, lustfully. we continue to walk hand-in-hand like sharkboy and lavagirl down the beach, as lovers do.

that G#5 Sounds Inhaled

[Gilad]

Nah that kind of control is pretty difficult to pull off on inhales, especially for a 16 year-old Bo and at that high of a pitch. The note is pretty pathetic sounding, so I understand confusing it for an inhale.

[Macca]

Also the C#2 link Is Dead
edit: never mind it’s not

[fallenalien]

How strong are his lower notes, iyo?

I've seen him described as a tenor, but his range makes me doubt it a bit.

Seems like he mostly stays in the mid range, but it looks to me like he is a bit more comfortable singing lower than mid range, rather than higher, but I could be wrong.

[ellie]

He's 100% a baritone he's just nasal lol

[Tetra]

This video that Bo released includes some unreleased songs that were not put in Inside along with outtakes from other songs :)

[Smitty.]

Is it me or do i hear the C#2 get down to C2, i mean it matches the scale

[Macca]

Nope It's a Certified C#2 Here Is the Out of Phase Stereo Example I Made Where You Can Here The C#2 Clearer It's the 2nd Leven Is The C#2

Some people think that any male who can sing a C5 in falsetto is a tenor and anyone who can growl an E2 is a bass. They probably just look up those notes in a vocal range table.

His G2s sound good, his E2 sounds full, but it's fairly post processed.

[Tetra]

one of the thread pics of all time

[Macca]

Bb2 in this vine of his

[motorist]

Why was the C#2 removed? Did it never exist or was it deemed questionable in some way?

It didn’t exist, it just sounded like a bass peak. I’m pretty sure that’s why it was removed.

[Macca]

C#6 at 0:49 which I don't think is that countable and also a G2 at 6:41

Also Some Bold Suggestions
A2 in From God's Perspective Album Version
G#2 in Channel 5 News: The Musical
D4 in Little Adolf & Look Who's Inside Again
Eb4 in Problematic

[Smitty.]

i agree with the G#2 in channel 5 being bolded

[Macca]

There's possibly a B2 here

[Macca]

Is this thread gonna be updated with the notes I put?

[Macca]

There might be some stuff here.

[Macca]

Since Gilad didn't respond if this was going to be updated or the pm i sent. I'll just have his user link in there to see if I get a response this time.
